Brownies

As we are nearing the weekend, I'm going to make some Brownies. They are great to have instead of dessert or for coffee with friends.
It took me a long time to get the right recipe for Brownies. They need to come out of the oven while they are still moist, not dry in the middle, like a sponge cake.

This recipe makes about 16

Preheat oven to 180°.
Line a 20.5 cm square tin with baking parchment
In a large saucepan, gently heat 150 g butter and 200g chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth.
Take pan off the heat
Stir in 3 eggs and beat well
Add 2 tsp vanilla extract, 250 g sugar and 100 g plain flour.
Beat together well, until glossy.
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes ,until a smooth shiny crust forms.
Allow to cool completely in the tin
Cut into 16 squares and dust with icing sugar.
The Brownies but better if left to cool overnight.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
